Select Aggressive Mode to configure IKE phase1 of the VPN Tunnel to carry out negotiation
in a shorter amount of time. (N ot Recomm ended-Less Secure)
Note:
The difference between the two modes is that aggressive mode will pass more information in
fewer packets, with the benefit of slightly faster connection establishment, at the cost of
transmitting the identities of the security firewall in the clear. When using aggressive mode, some
configuration parameters such as Diffie-Hellman groups and PFS can not be negotiated, resulting
in a greater importance of havi ng "compati ble" confi guration on both ends.
Key Life Time: Enter the number of seconds for the IPSec lifetime. It is t he period of time to

select 100%, 50% or 25%. 100% is the default s etting and is recom m ended.
Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 25-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. The
beacons are the packets sent by the modem router to synchronize a wireless network.
Beacon Interval value determines t he tim e interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold: Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is
larger than the specified RT S Threshold size, the modem router will send RTS frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is
2346.
Fragmentation Threshold: This value is the maximum size determining whether packets
will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network
performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.
DTIM Interval: This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the modem router has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which
indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
Enable Short GI: It is recommended to Enable Short GI, which will increase the data
capacity by reducing the guard interval ti m e.
Enabled Client Isolation: This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from
each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the modem router but not with
each other. Client isolation is disabled by default.
Enable WMM: This function guarantee the packets with high-priority messages being
transm itted preferenti ally . It is strongly recom m ended to enable WM M .
Note:
If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep the
